There has been an awesome trend in the realm of simplicity in the modern video game world. Among Us has ascended to the upper tier of multiplayer experiences. With all the amazing things modern graphics engines can render, it’s hysterical that a 2D game about deception has taken the video game community by such storm.

Among Us has been tearing friends apart since it gained some serious traction at the tail end of the summer. The ultimate game of deception usually just turns into cruel gaslighting in the friendliest of ways. The stakes really begin to ramp up when there are multiple imposters in the game. Along with setting the number of imposters, the host also has the ability to turn on/off Confirm Ejections. This guide will be going over the benefits of both options, and which makes for a better experience. There is an Imposter Among Us.
Among Us: Confirm Ejects On or Off?
As players have experienced, Among Us’s default setting is to have Confirm Ejections on. This will let everybody know whether or not the ejected player was the Imposter (Player 1 was NOT the/an Imposter). While this will confirm the group's suspicions, it can sway the favor to the side of the crew-mates in a multi-imposter game. It will be easy to pin down who the final imposter is if the crew knows they’ve already bounced one or two out of the game.
Contrarily, turning the notifications off will NOT alert players as to whether the ejected player was an imposter or not (Player 1 was ejected). Not knowing ramps up the intensity of the game, and forces players to only eject someone they have solid evidence on.
Players have most likely run into a situation where the vote is between two players that are both accusing each other. Usually, these discussions end with, ‘Well if it’s not Player 2, then we’ll just vote off Player 1’. With notifications off (and playing a game with multiple imposters) Player 1 may not be subject to getting voted off since nobody will know whether Player 2 was an Imposter or not. This only works with multiple imposters because if Player 2 WAS the Imposter, the game would end.
Ultimately, the game is more exciting with Confirm Ejects turned OFF. However, this is only recommended for players that have experience with the game and doing different tasks. New players may want to keep Confirm Ejects ON in order to get more acclimated with the game mechanics.
Players looking for an even better Among Us experience should play with a group of people they know and enter into some form of 3rd party voice chat. This can be done on Discord or over PlayStation/Xbox Party Chat. They will of course have to set some ground rules for muting and post-death talking. The game rises to a whole new level of anger and deception once all players can freely talk to each other during discussions.
Among Us is available for PC, IOS and Android
